Cats

[Roller]

Looks like our luck ran out. Cat looks like she has breast cancer. It’s particularly aggressive in cats, and so even with (another) surgery, prognosis is less than a year. Need to have a consult to see what our particular situation looks like once the lab results come back.

Sorry to hear about your cat. Not too long ago, our cat developed an aggressive malignancy that was making it very difficult for him to eat, causing rapid weight loss and lethargy. He was miserable, so we had him put down. It was a tough decision after having him as part of our family for many years.

Sorry, man. Me and my kitty wish your’s the best.

Sorry to hear.

Sometimes we just have to do what is best for them no matter how much we don’t want to.

Yeah, the one bit of “good” news here is that it seems like we caught it earlier than many usually do. So she’s still in good spirits and seems more concerned about my mood than her’s. She’s also eating as much as ever. That said, pay close attention and you can tell she’s not a young cat anymore. Her desire for play is down, more because of the arthritis I think than interest. I’ve been trying to introduce some "low impact" play which seems to help.

But the writing is on the wall. Even with surgery, it’s pretty much a guarantee it will come back, and it will come back much faster than either the lymphoma or brain tumor. I’m setting up consults anyways to at least get an idea what to expect and see if we really are early enough that it might be worth doing the surgery. Have to weigh if it is worth putting her through another two recovery periods, though. no idea until we get her looked at.

I ordered an urn. Yes it’s a bit early. My father went through some trouble dealing with the cremains of my sister due to how sudden it was, and so I’d rather have it on hand, even if it will gather dust in a closet for maybe a year.

Good luck with your decision-making.

Our cat’s cremains were scattered somewhere, but the company sent us his paw print mounted in some type of durable material.
